Famous quotes containing the word sang:
““Money is good and a girl might be better,
No matter what happens and who takes the fall,
But a good strong cause”Mthe rope gave a jerk there,
No more sang he, for his throat was too small;
But he kicked before he died,
He did it out of pride.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“When cups went round at close of day
Is not that how good stories run?
The gods were sitting at the board
In their great house at Slievenamon.
They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
For all were full of wine and meat.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“And thus they sang their mysterious duo, sang of their nameless hope, their death-in-love, their union unending, lost forever in the embrace of night’s magic kingdom. O sweet night, everlasting night of love! Land of blessedness whose frontiers are infinite!”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
